13. Detroit - Jonathan Banks, CB, Mississippi St.
Upgrading the corner position has been a need for years, and continues to be. Banks is a long corner that can defend both the run and pass, and would be the top cover man for the Lions from Day 1.

This is the most recent Mock Draft that Footballs Future has posted on it's homepage. It's done by Robert Davis. How do you feel about how he has the draft playing out? What do you think of the Lions pick? What letter grade would you give it? Would you do anything differently?_________________

I think we are going to be picking higher than 13 when its all over....good for a trade down or a player + pick.

But on the downside I honestly think we are going to be grabbing another WR (or maybe another TE) with one of our first three picks. Regardless of depth this team simply drafts the bejesus out of receiver position.

I'm almost tempted to say we might as well just get it over with and simply take another 1st round WR and quite wasting our draft ammo year in and year out in rounds 2-3 on receivers....

How would people react if the Lions were in position and draft Luke Joeckel?

Joeckel has potential but has been on and off this year. If rather trade down and take Jake Matthews._________________
